Fantastic site by the way, I meant to say also. Your research is incredibly thorough. Love the discussion of Anglo-Saxon and neolithic origins!

Curious if my great grandmother, Capitola Caldwell Klutz, was related to Erskine Caldwell.

I am the 3rd great-grandson of David Caldwell of Cumberland COunty, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Samuel Caldwell/Colwell. There is a large number of Caldwell/Colwell families within Cumberland and Franklin counties. I haven\'t been able to determine the parentage of Samuel Caldwell. I searched through your family tree and didn\'t locate any Cumberland County Caldwells.

thanks,
Brent

About two weeks ago my mother, Clara Caldwell Kvaran died. I have picked up her mantle as family flag bearer and am attempting to organize her records. I am also attempting to locate a family portrait (I have the \"She\", somewhere there is a \"He\") as well as clear up the family mystery. I will look around your site and hopefully find some helpful information. Einar

i would like to farther state that it is not one bit interesting to find that the Caldwells were possible descendants of Oliver Cromwell. I also come from Cromwellian dissidents. I do appreciate the information and stories shared here but the Cromwellian connection saddens me and disturbs me. God Bless Ireland.

David Caldwell was my 7th great grandfather. Its interesting to find more about him here. Even more so than Ancestry.com. Thank you for sharing this . Peace.

My Great Great Grandfather, John Vernon Caldwell was born Dec, 16, 1799 in Vermont. I know his father was George of Irish-Scotich decendence. I can not find a wife or any other children. And, he lived in Vermont, not Kentucky. John Vernon Caldwell, I have got it all. I am so hung up on George! Thanks

My Caldwell linage comes from my 3rd great grandmother in Clay County Ala. Her brother was named David Crockett Caldwell, CSA.

My mother was a Culwell of Pike County MO. The surname shifted in Kentucky from Caldwell to Culwell in the mid to late 1800s. The patriarch of thie line was Thomas A. Caldwell, b Maryland 1785 (according to census data), died Jefferson Co, KY, 11 Sep 1856. The children who remained in Kentucky generally kept the Caldwell spelling, while those who moved into Missouri changed to Culwell. We have tried without success to discover the antecedents of Thomas A. Caldwell. There is a DNA connection to Samuel Boyd Caldwell (1793-1879 PA) but no documented connection seems available. If anyone has information on Thomas A. Caldwell, it would be most welcome.

I am descended from John and Margaret\'s son, William and am a historian living in Oklahoma. It was good to be able to use your site to verify some of the information our side has gathered over the years!

James Frank Caldwell wrote on May 1, 2016 at 3:44 pm

Link to this site was forwarded to me by my nephew Scot Elam. If my research is correct, I am a descendant of David A. Caldwell born 1769.

Hello, I have enjoyed visiting. I am the maternal Grandmother of a darling little boy (age 5) named FLOYD CHRISTIAN KETCHUM STEWART. Floyd is named after his Daddy\'s maternal Grandfather, FLOYD CALDWELL. Since Floyd\'s birth I have been researching both his Caldwell and Stewart family genealogy. I hope he will be as thrilled about the discoveries I have made as I have been. I have known about the Rev. David Caldwell and his wife Rachael for a while and after reading more about them here I can hardly wait to tell Floyd and his parents about your Caldwell Genealogy site so they can visit too.

Floyd\'s father is TIMOTHY CHRISTIAN STEWART. His parents were TIMOTHY STEWART and LINDA CALDWELL. Linda\'s parents were FLOYD CALDWELL and her Mother is a lovely Samoan lady who\'s name at present I can not recall how to spell. So, my little Floyd has quite an interesting family tree!

I wanted to write just to tell you how much I have enjoyed visiting your genealogy...and give a shout out to the tiny little \'bud\' growing on the Caldwell Family tree named Floyd.

Sincerely;
Sharon Ketchum

My great-grandma was Mary Ella Caldwell Barton (1876-1958). I was 11 years old when she died. I have many fond memories of her and her stories. I had polio as a child and sat with her most of the time due to the paralysis I had as a child. I have been researching this branch of the family. I enjoyed the research you have completed. We are in Missouri. Her father was David Caldwell (1847-1924).Thank you.

I would like to contact Jennifer Miller from New Zealand (19 Jan 2003). We appear to be closely related.

My grandmother was Clara Houston Caldwell Gregson. I have never been able to understand where the \"Houston\" came from, since I have not noticed that it is a family name. Clara\'s grandfather, Mathew Caldwell (sometimes spelled with 2 t\'s and sometimes with 1) came to America in 1840. I have found that he originated in Renfrewshire, Scotland, then moved to northern Ireland and then migrated across the ocean. I want so much to know about his history before he migrated. If you could possibly point me in the right direction I would be very grateful. Caldwell has remained a family middle name for the past 5 generations.

I have a lot of information on Caldwell from West Monroe, Oswego county, New York. I am having trouble tracing them further back than that. What I do know is that James G. Caldwell was born in November of 1809 in Tyrone Ireland and sailed to Philadelphia in 1832 aboard the ship Asia. He than moved to Collins, Erie county, New York and married Jane Emeline Williams, daughter of Dr. Henry Williams. They had their fist child in that town and then moved to West Monroe and had their next ten children, two of whom died at six months and two years old. four of their children joined the union side of the civil war. James, George, and Albert died in the civil war. Dr. Henry W. Caldwell was the only one to survive. I have more info than this, including where two of the brothers died. I would like to add them to this web site. However I am failing at finding a way to contact anyone here. If someone could please contact me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks AVERY CALDWELL
